Check out Lines + Splines (again)

November 3, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Check out Lines + Splines (again): “…because I’m now beginning a spate of all-Dutch posts; for the next few days (or so), all my posts will be related to Dutch type/design. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while and now is as good a time as any.”

Type is great, but even better are the textual diversions, themes and sub-themes, clauses and sub-clauses, he (he?) uses to get to the point. Seemingly out of left field will come this extra something – a little anecdote or digression – that completes the picture. Quite seriously, I don’t know that any text has every mirrored the way my own brain works quite as closely as Lines + Splines.
